Lyrics:
Oh if I were a baron's heir,
and I could deck with gems your hair,
and make ye fine as ye are fair
Lassie would ye love me?
And could I take ye to the town
and show ye fine sights many a one,
and dress ye fine in silken gown
Lassie would ye love me?
And when the fair moon glistens o'er
our humble home and heather moor
we'll not complain that we're so poor
Lassie for I love ye.
For I have nought to offer ye,
no gold from mine, nor pearl from sea,
nor am I come of high degree
Lassie, lassie, lassie...
And would ye be content to prove
in lowly life unfading love
a heart that nought on earth could move,
Lassie would ye love me?
And 'ere the skylark wing the sky,
say would ye to the forrest hie
and live with me 'til I shall die
Lassie, lassie, lassie...
Oh would ye love me?
